See How We Used Our New 3D Design Tool to Create a Chill, Classic Dorm Room
Every dorm room starts out the same. The magic happens when you infuse this home away from home with your unique style. Whether your vision board is full of preppy plaids or eclectic color combos, now’s your chance to design the dorm that only you can.
Walmart can help make your back-to-campus dreams come true with decor, furniture, and bedding that turns your dorm into a style sanctuary — whatever look that means for you. For UPenn student Marcus Quinn, the vibe is classic: earthy colors, clean lines, and calming accents. Inspired by his dorm room design, we used our new virtual tool, Dorm Designer, to make one of our own. Loaded with room layouts and the latest Walmart furnishings, Dorm Designer helps you see the items you want all in one 3D space. Shop our classic-inspired space!
A Classic Campus Haven
This chill aesthetic gets extra visual interest from touchable textures and earthy color combinations — like a ribbed foam chair in emerald green and a chunky rust-colored throw blanket. Together, they provide a soft contrast to all that sharp standard-issue furniture. A slim, minimalist nightstand packs plenty of storage — and charging capability! — without adding bulk. And abstract wall art goes with everything.
To create the right ambience, lighting is key — and Walmart has endless options. This lime green fabric lamp has a cool, sculptural feel. Or perhaps you’d like to lean retro with a midcentury modern dome lamp? Don’t be afraid to have fun with it: We love this illuminated “chill” sign for post-study vibes, and these modular light blocks can turn the mood from chill to cinematic in seconds. They can also sync to your gaming device for an extra atmospheric session.
Extras with Extra Style
Mix different types of art — like a vintage-inspired airplane patent illustration and a modern geometric print — for a more layered look. Add bamboo baskets to organize clutter. When it comes to studying, an ergonomic gaming chair offers plenty of support (and sleek stripe details) and over-ear wireless headphones keep distractions at bay. Don’t forget to stay hydrated (and caffeinated): This 30-ounce stainless steel water bottle is large enough that you don’t have to keep getting up for refills, and a compact Keurig K-Express brews fresh, delicious coffee in minutes.
